Case Study: Capgemini Leadership Programme Scavenger Hunt

Capgemini | Programme Finale | Team Building Event

The Brief

Capgemini approached Big Smoke Events to create a fun, celebratory experience to mark the conclusion of their Leadership Development Programme.

They were keen for the event to feel meaningful as well as entertaining, asking us to incorporate specific locations and references linked to both the programme and the wider business. The aim was to bring participants together, celebrate their achievements and end the programme on a high.

The Solution

We delivered a fully personalised Big Smoke Scavenger Hunt, designed specifically for Capgemini’s programme finale.

The hunt featured cryptic clues, company-focused puzzles and bespoke challenges, all tailored to reflect Capgemini’s values and the journey participants had been on throughout the programme. Alongside the problem-solving, we included creative challenges that generated plenty of hilarious moments – and footage – for teams to enjoy together afterwards.

The format struck the perfect balance between challenge, creativity and celebration, making it an ideal fit for a leadership programme finale.

The Result

The Scavenger Hunt provided a jubilant and memorable conclusion to the programme. Teams embraced the opportunity to work together in a different environment, showcasing creativity, collaboration and plenty of laughter.

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with the final presentations and shared highlights producing some of the biggest laughs of the day – a true celebration of both individual and collective success.

What Capgemini Said

*“Working with The Big Smoke Events was a joy from start to finish. During planning, they were flexible and supportive of tailoring the hunt to include challenges relevant to our business and the programme.

Our hosts on the day brought fantastic, infectious energy – our participants were super excited to take part. Feedback was resoundingly positive, and presenting back findings from the hunt got a LOT of laughs!”*
